We're so stoked you like the bike, Jeff. Thanks for coming up for a visit!

can't believe that review of the old altitude was in 2020, feels like yesterday

Jeff consistently makes great content. It always surprises me when I see that his subscriber count isn't growing faster. IMO, he's probably one of the top 5 of mountain biking content creators on Youtube, but for whatever reason the algorithm doesn't seem to be rewarding his efforts. It's a shame. Jeff is so direct and no nonsense when it comes to his videos, I suspect he is not cashing in on "viral" non-serious content, which I guess is good for his loyal viewers, but not so good for gaining lots of subscribers. Regardless, I'll keep watching his content and will hope that all of his great content gets in front of new viewers who will subscribe.

A nice job of engineering the weight toward the bottom. Shock, linkage and necessary parts are low which has to help the CG. Plus, it looks clean. Nice job!

Good to hear Rocky is still killing it. My 2018 Altitude was an amazing bike. Won it with a $20 raffle ticket. Best $20 I’ve ever spent.

That pivot around the I dunno... there is so much extra movement in that area because of the cranks. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts after a few months on this thing... The bike looks really cool but I dunno about the main

Just bought the 2023 A30. Pick her up on my days off. So stoked. Going from hard tail to this

[ninjazzrhythm]

Shouldn't all bike should have loctite in the pivot screws?

[SamsBikes]

LOVE your videos and Reviews Jeff and man your riding in next level....

[pedrosanciny]

I am looking forward to detailed review. I would like to know, how the bike feels in steep config.

The other day I went for a ride and it was a little chilly so I put on a sweater over my tshirt. After pedalling I got hot and I was like "Damn I wish I had a backpack to put my sweater in" and then I realised I have in-frame storage. Some think it's a gimmick but I think it's a useful feature in certain scenarios.

Almost the same design with santa cruz VPP, the only difference is the main pivot is located in bottom bracket..

[octodadmtbmartyrichards]

Nice van 🚐 bro 😎, flow trails look amazing 😻 Good to see someone pushing the lim😮of this bike, I’m looking for a 1 bike quiver to replace my yt Jeffsy 29, I like the adjustability and efficiency of this bike 🚲

On my 2023 Altitude I had to loctite my Horst link pivot bolts, they came loose several times. I am interested to demo the new Altitude to compare it to mine. Your videos of the old Altitude plus a couple of demo rides convinced me to bite the bullet and get an Altitude last year, absolutely loving it.

Great review. I’d be interested to see your thoughts on a forbidden Druid and dreadnought v2

[milktop]

Altitower/ megatude looks great! Nice riding!!!

[ThunderStruckMTB]

I don't think some loctite from the factory assembly would be too much to ask for as that would be super annoying to deal with after the 4th ride.

[petedog]

I just bought a 2023 carbon Instinct from Jenson based a lot on your reviews of the Altitude over the past couple of years. The bike is amazing. This bike is great and I'm glad they redesigned it to separate it from the Element/Instinct frame and suspension design.

[awkragt]

Oh man, my 2018 Instinct BC might finally get put out to pasture.

[LawrenceMacMacster]

Jeff you really have the best reviews and the best edits without being a friggin sellout. Much love 🎉🤘

Okay enuff simping for today, the one piece suits are not my cup of tea but I kinda see them as your superhero uniforms, oh geez I'm simping again 😅
